Kahai808 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I am at a lost right now. I have only messed with my buddies moon clip server. i've been looking at the Johnson Moon Clip Rack, Speed-E-Rack and NM. Cant decide what route i want to do. Moon Clip Server seems like a great idea until you run into having all your ammo on the table type of start which makes one of the Post Racks ideal. But how often do i run into that situation? Not often. I'll be shooting this in USPSA. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly why I switched to the North Mountain post holders, It's simplicity of design is what makes it the best and most effective, Easy to load, easy to unload. The spring ones are a good conversation starter, but take significantly longer to load up, and when your on the clock , forget about it. Even though you may not do a table start every match, when you do run in to one, it can make the difference between winning and losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatJones Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I couldn't find what I wanted, so I built my own. I wanted a single high kydex rack that would take both 38 and 45 clips. Kydex is easy to work with if you're good with your hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogged Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I'm very happy with the Speed-E-Rack but I've never tried the others. Try 'em all and do what works for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWP Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 NM and Speed-E-Rack are the most popular for a reason. Is there someone local too you that you could sample one or the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy45 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I just got my NM rack after going through the same decision process. Haven't shot a match yet but have been practicing reloads and i really like how quick and and easy I can get a moon off the post. I got the standoffs and loading the rack from a table is really quick as well! Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmoney Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Having tried most of the available options at some point along the way, I'm still a big believer in the original North Mountain product. I don't think there is anything quicker or more secure, and the NM is virtually immune to disasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 have been practicing reloads and i really like how quick and and easy I can get a moon off the post. Yes--and despite how quick and easy the moons pop into your hand, it's almost impossible to lose moons from the NM holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckaroo45 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Only thing I can add to the above is if you're a fat guy pop for the NM with the stand offs. With my hands I gotta see it before I can grab it and the stand off version is the only one that lets me see beyond my belly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Disagree Mike it still happens!!! Have had extra Moon Clips come off several times, but it's always due to the way I grab, not inadvertent motion. I have a Speed e Rack and it's good, watched Rich Wolfe and his magnetic version and it's slick. But the NM is more secure, with a spacer to hold off the post slightly it's easier to load from a table and the best is they can work with multiple Moon Clip sizes. Still using the one I had used with my 6 shooters in 625/45 acp/gap, 29/44 russian and now 627/38 short colt 8 shots. I also did extensive testing on the speed differences and found no discernible difference in times. Another plus is all of your moon clips are kept in a shorter space on the belt. Down side is hangs down below the belt. Vote for the NM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revoman Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 James Austin moon clip server and 2 North Mountain singles. Best of both worlds. Use the singles for loading off the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mover480 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Or a speed-e-rack and 2 NM singles. 11 moons on the belt! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
357454 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I have been very pleased with the North Mountain Clip Holder, I use the double four plus a single on the left side, when shooting the 625 I have Sixty rounds available, with the 627 or 929 I have Eighty rounds, on the rare occasion I drop one, I go for the next one they are tough, reliable and simple; what more could you ask for?

ChrisC Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I've used NM for a while. Bob is a great guy and builds a great product. I have also purchased a speed-e-rack to give them a try. I suspect it will preform equally as well. The moon server looks pretty good but unloaded starts would require an additional style of moon holder.

varminter22 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I've been using the James Austin Moon Clip Server for a year or two now. I LIKE it - a lot. Usually have at least one or two additional single moon clip carriers on belt also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think you can buy any of these and hurt your performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDanCheck Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I've been shooting a speed e rack for 2 years and its great. There is nothing like the feel of the magnets when they pull the moon clips from your hand on a unloaded start. Alex is right most unloaded starts show up in a match that really matters. NM has great stuff and Bob's the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
